Liverpool crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the first
hurdle as goals from Shinji Okazaki and Islam Slimani put Leicester
City through 2-0 on Tuesday.

Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain was in the Liverpool starting XI, as was Philippe Coutrinho,
who danced through Leicester defenders and forced a diving save from Foxes
keeper Ben Hamer.

Liverpool's Andrew
Robertson then saw his cross run agonisingly through the six-yard box, but it
was the hosts who took control in the second half.

Okazaki put Leicester
ahead in the 65th minute following a corner when Vicente Iborra headed the ball
down to the Japan international ,and his shot took a deflection off Robertson
before finding the net.

Slimani ran through
defenders, keeping his balance to deliver a blast from distance in the 78th
minute to seal the victory.

Also on Tuesday, Dele
Alli scored the only goal in the 65th minute to guide Tottenham to
a 1-0 win over Barnsley,

Kieran Trippier did
well to bring the ball down on the wing and cross to Alli, who could not miss
in the centre of the box.

Championship club Bristol
City knocked off Premier League side Stoke City 2-0
at Ashton Gate. An individual effort
from Famara Diedhiou set the hosts on their way, with the Senegalese converting
a 50th-minute chance from the centre of the penalty area to put Bristol up 1-0.

And 10 minutes later,
Matty Taylor would double Bristol's lead, stroking a left-footed shot from the
centre of the box to seal the win and send Mark Hughes' team packing.

Crystal Palace are still looking for a first Premier League
point but defeated Huddersfield Town 1-0 to advance.

Bakary Sako headed in
Andros Townsend's cross in the 13th minute for the club's first goal since the
previous round, a win over Ipswich on Aug. 22.

The only game of the
night to go to penalties saw Leeds outlast Burnley 5-3
after the game ended 2-2 after 120 minutes.

The game was still
goalless until Hadi Sacko opened the scoring for Leeds in the 80th minute, but
Chris Wood pulled the hosts level with an 89th-minute penalty.

There was more late
drama as Pablo Hernandez converted a stoppage-time penalty to restore Leeds'
advantage, only for Robert Brady to net a dramatic equaliser at the death.

After extra time the
match was decided in a shootout, where Leeds keeper Andy Lonergan saved James
Tarkowski's effort.

Mawson and Ayew scored in the second half help Swansea City to defeat Reading 2-0
at the Madejski Stadium.

The breakthrough came
in the 52nd minute as Renato Sanches' cross fell to Mawson to turn in, and Ayew
sealed it on the counter-attack seven minutes from time.

West Ham secured a 3-0 win at home over Bolton with
goals from Angelo Ogbonna, Diafra Sakho and Arthur Masuaku.

Ogbanna needed just
four minutes to head in cross from Marko Arnautovic, who also set up Sakho for
the Hammers' second after the half-hour mark, before Masuaku added a late
third.

Wolves are through to
the last 16 after escaping Bristol Rovers 1-0 in extra time, Bright Enobakhare
netting the only goal for the home side on 98 minutes before Tom Lockyer saw a
late red card for the visitors.

Mario Vrancic scored
twice as Norwich City won away to Brentford 3-1,
while a Patrick Bamford brace saw Middlebrough through at Aston
Villa, who had Tommy Elphick sent off in the second half.
